"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

The US is not a Catholic confessional State...thank God...consider the disaster that would be in light of the disaster of Vpoo. So you vote in line with Catholic teaching....not what you think it is...but what it actually is....and you get the best you can get...it will never be perfect.
